Not long now!

The spare bed (in Seth's room) is piling up with luggage.  Today, I boxed up Groucho the ebike, after dismantling him, to be collected by the courier tomorrow to be delivered to Sandra's Backpackers in Thurso.  Let's hope that 1) he arrives safely and 2) I can put him back together again (all the KIng's Horses, springs to mind).  Mabli has a new carriage, so I had to try it out.  Persuading her to get in was easy.  Persuading her to STAY in wasn't so easy, 'specially when I made the trailer move.  Plan is to load the trailer with my panniers, tent etc and drag it onto the train.  Steve thinks I'm barking.   I also got the old Terra Nova Laser tent out of storage and put it up in the garden just to give it a once over.  What a great tent it is!   The same tent I took to Australia and back 10yrs ago.     Swept some ancient grass seeds off the ground sheet, but otherwise it's all good.   Have left it up as it's been mizzling all day here in Devon.  
Thankyou all of those who have already sponsored me!  I have raised more for the Woodies than I did for MSF on my Australia trip already!   AND I don't know who all my sponsors are?!  Who is Sorrel?  Who are the C-Ws?  I'm going to be racking my brain for the next few weeks I can tell.  Departure set for July 2nd.  Arrival in Thurso July 3rd.  I'm so excited, can you tell?
